Samuel W. Allerton nui entered tho race for United States senator from Illinois. Ho announced bis candidacy yesterday. He will open headquarters today In his offices In ho Old Colony building, Van Huron and Dearborn atieets. He will conduct a lively campaign.

The announcement was made vostorday afternoon by William P. Wllllaroit, secretary of tho Union League club, who says be Is ono of Mr. Allorton's many frlandu who have urgud him to make the light. However, ho will not have charge of tho campaign, and for the present It hns not been announced who will plan and liavo obargo of Mr. Allorton's prospective battles But It IB known that be Is determined to make troin thin on an energetic canvass and that ho vaunts on tho assurances of support he ban received from country inoinbors to imiko a formidable showing on tho first ballots in tho loglalii- tU'ocuuous.

Mr. Williams said' "Mr. Allorton has boon influenced to tako this stop largely by tho proHiurc that has boon brought to licar upon bliti by niombors of tho legislature from tho country. Ho baa bud tho matter under consideration for some time. After consulting a number of his frluuds ho has been persuaded that tho demand for candidacy In strong ono.

"On thin account ho hai made up his mind to mako tho run, and tomorrow bo will open up headquarters in tho Old Colony building. "I will not say just whoro Mr. Allor- ton's greatest strength Is, except that It Is In a general way among the country members. Thcro Is no doubt that a groat many will oomo to his support; just who I cannot say. But ho bus also ro- colvod promises of support from Cook oontity members, and be will have a great many frlonds, who, having advised him to toko this stop, will give him their licst assistance Ho Is certainly in this fight In earnest, and will stay In It to the finlflb." When asked whotbor the I'nlon League club had hod any part lr.

putting Mr. Allerton forward, Mr. Williams Bald: "The Union league club has had nothing to do with Mr. Allerton's oandldoy, and I may say that Its members; for the most part, will be as much surprised to learn of announcement as any ono Nollher has tbo antl-Maddeu committee bad a band In It. Mr.

The Cameron Cuban resolution if pressed to a final passage in both houses will constitute a direct and formidable IBSUO between tho executive and legislative branches of tho government. This is dourly Indicated by the following interview, given out by Olncy today. Olnoy being ask od bis opinion of the nature and offoot of the proposed resolution recognizing tbo Independence of tho republic of Cuba said I havo no objection to stating my own views ou the resolution respecting Independence of tho so-culled republic of Cuba, which, It Is roportod will bo laid before the sonato Monday. Indeed, as thcro is likely to bo serious misapprehension regarding such a resolution both In this country und abroad, and us such np- prchonslons may havo nn injurious result of grave character it Is perhaps my duty to point out that the resolution, if pu-raed by tbo senate, nan probably bo regarded only as an expression of opinion by tho eminent gentlemen who voto for It in tho sonato, and If paused by tbo house of can only bo regarded as another expression of opinion by tho eminent gentlemen wbo voto for it In tho house. Tbo power to recognize tho so- called republic of Cuba, as an Independent state rests exclusively with tho executive.

A resolution on tho subjoct by tho gonuto or bouse, both, or ono, whether concurrent or joint is Inopor- atlvo as legislation und important (inly UB adv'co of groat weight voluntarily tendered the executive regarding tbo manner In whirl) he shall exorcise bis ooiiHtltutionul functions. Tbo operation anil effect of the proposed resolution, therefore, oven If panned by both houses of congress by a two-thirds vote Is perfectly plain, and mny raise expectations in some quarters which can never be realized. It may Inllamo tho popular paflRlon of this country and clsowbero urd thin put In peril tho lives and property of American citizens, resident, and travc'Ing abroad, und certainly obstruct, perhaps defeat tbo bent efforts of the government to afford such citizens duo protection, but, except In tboHo ways, and unions tho advice embodied bo reached, mid olTlclnlly declared, the resolution will bo without effect and will leave mmltorfd the attitude of this government towards tho two contending parties In Cuba."

All thn big factories In Chicago and Now York have agreed to put prices up und some havo already dono so. An advance of (10 a thousand was announced by sumo dealers this week, and others havo notified the trade that tho limit ot present prices will bo January 1.

Homo factories aro trying to mako their Havana go as far possible by mixing It with Ohio und Virginia tobacco, that costs lesn jthan one tmith as much.

Of course the latter is committed by the secretary's declaration to tho view that congress bus not constitutional authority to recognize tho Independence of Cuba for to abate anything of this assertion of power on his would be construed as a repudiation of the notion of tho secretary and would prooably cause disruption of tho cabinet. Tho records show no cose that affords an exact parallel to this, for nowhere have tbe executive and congress directly differed nnd nrale an issue on a question of recognizing another nation. It has been tucltly admitted heretofore, and Olnoy contends that this Is purely nn executive function, bnt Cameron, the author ot tbo resolution, It is understood has made an exhaustive study of tbe constitutional aspect of tbo mutter and Is fully convinced that congress bus power to proceed along tho lines of his resolution. Of course it is understood that If tuo resolution pasted Cleveland T-ould veto It, then if it was passed over his veto. Olncy clearly Imlmntcs he would pny no nttcntlon to It.
